On August 17, after nine days of competition in six divisions, the 2024 41st China Football Development Foundation-DiDi-Beijing Evening News Hundred Teams Cup Football Tournament came to an end, and the closing ceremony was held at Yinghai Football Theme Park and other places. At the closing ceremony, Liu Jun, chairman of the Beijing Football Association, said that the Hundred Teams Cup has begun to attract the attention of scouts, and in the future, we must actively seek the support of all sectors of society to make the Hundred Teams Cup better and better.

Liu Jun said: "Since the 41st Beijing Evening News Hundred Teams Cup started on August 8, more than 2,000 games have been played, with more than 16,000 participants, and the competition process was very smooth and successful. This year is the 40th birthday of the Hundred Teams Cup. Frankly speaking, the overall competitive level of the competition is getting higher and higher, especially now that the children in the U10, U11, and U12 age groups have a very high level of competition, and have begun to attract the attention of scouts. I believe that the holding of the Hundred Teams Cup will not only make children like football, but also bring out more young football talents. Next, we will also hold the fourth Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Hundred Teams Cup Finals in Xiongan New Area."

During the summer vacation, the Hundred Teams Cup needs to overcome the weather and ensure the personal safety of the participants. Liu Jun said: "Hosting the Hundred Teams Cup is a huge challenge for the entire organizer. We consider the possible weather impact and player injuries. For this reason, we have also made several contingency plans in the early stage. The most important thing is to focus on the physical and mental health of the children, create a good competition environment for everyone, and let the children and parents feel at ease."

Liu Jun said that he would actively seek support from all sectors of society, pool their wisdom and make the Hundred Teams Cup better and better.
